Beth and I have moved to Europe, as of 7am (local time) this morning.
we'll be living in Spain for the next few years...
your regularly scheduled Psychopomp stuff should be largely uninterrupted, as there's an amazing team in place.

Happy Friday! May I present for your consideration: buy my book? The reasons you should do this are: it's my book, and it's very good, and it has a radish and her fox wife whom she adores and also a rock determined to live her best life even if maybe she wasn't meant to have a life to live.
Starstruck, by Aimee Ogden | Psychopomp
a radish, a fox, and a boulder walk into the world... check out the cover for Aimee's amazing novella STARSTRUCK, and preorder your copy today.

it's so cool to watch someone experience for the first time a work of art you deeply love.
even MORE COOL when they articulate in one shot what makes it so good/powerful/unique in a way you never thought about before.

I just learned that Michael Jackson allegedly would get up and set down tracks whenever the thought came to him because he was afraid if he didn't do it asap the muse/God/etc would give it to Prince instead and if this concept is true I have some work to do.

publishing is so great
me: hey, how many books are we selling on preorders, so know how much of @premeemohamed.com's amazing, HIGHLY ANTICIPATED BOOK to have printed.
distributor: idk...
me: uh... how do we find this out??
d: it's a mystery, it is unknowable.
:/
so I'm just guessing.

i have such a hard time typing "psychopomp" -- which is unfortunate because I have to type it about 87,000 times per day.
i think it's because I'm left-handed, and that last "hopomp" -- esp the "pomp" is particularly tough, as the last few fingers on my stupider hand are particularly stupid.
